With the urban landscape strategy employed in the project for completion of the Grande Bicocca, a new landscaped centre will join two parts of the city, connecting the axes of the former Ansaldo site and the large scale of its factories with the ones that structure the Bicocca. In the first place this new project assigns fundamental value to open space and no longer solely to the constructions, introducing elements of continuity, but also of strong discontinuity, into the existing district. The aim of this shift in emphasis is to produce a relatively unitary layout, in use and perception, of the open spaces conceived with landscaping criteria.
